Hmm, this usually happens if the postmaster did not accept client
connections after 5 seconds. Does the startup really take so long on
your system?
Can you please try to edit /usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster and change the
following code:
for (my $attempt = 0; $attempt < 10; $attempt++) {
select (undef, undef, undef, 0.5);
[...]
Please replace the "10" with a "20", this will increase the timeout to
10 seconds. Does that help?

Hm, that doesn't happen for me. Can you give me a recipe how to
reproduce that?
Thanks,
Martin
